The main thing that puts me off Sagem is when there is a channel lineup change the box displays a message waiting for you to press OK on the remote and no tv is output.

I am not sure if this happens with this box if it doesn't or if it can be switched off please post if you know as I am still looking for a box myself but they are either unreliable or display prompts instead of just adding/updating the channels in the background.

My Philips box always seems to crash after recording off BBC News 24 very annoying as Click and Talking Movies is on that channel. I usually just delete these from the To Do list and record the simulatcast off BBC1.

Still get a dodgy channel change (probably once a week) and it does still crash more often than I like but I think it no better than anything else on the market at the moment unless someone knows something we don't.

The only minor complaints that I have is that the sound level of the recordings is quieter than what I was used to compared to a Sky digibox; the only other grumble is that sometimes, on BBC4, the recordings are masked with red screens of text saying that the right channel (or something similar) should be selected.

That's because of a bug in the sony box, it should only happen for programs at the start of BBC4 evening run around 7pm.

I'd recommend the Netgem iPlayer box, since you can turn off the Mheg completely on that, and is very reliable.

I have just bought a Dion Eco 2 Scart Digital Tv Receiver and I can't find the IR codes for it. It is the cheap one avilable form tesco and I want to use it to test the new EPG. Has anyone got this model working yet?

You might want to ask this over in the Tivoland forum. I don't know what their plans are for updating the IR code database but it would seem a logical step at some point as we move towards DSO everywhere.

Just bought a Tesco £30 HD box last night STBHDV2010 (Vestel version) not for TiVo use but it uses the same IR codes as my SEG (Vestel clone) Freeview box so could be used with a TiVo provided you turn the auto standby off. IR code is under Freeview.
